Default Algae Reports?

Everybody always seem to want fishing reports from all the different lakes, so let's do something a bit different.

With all the unseasonably warm temps so far this June, I suspect we may see a lot of more algae blooms developing earlier than normal. So,,,,Why not start a thread giving reports on algae conditions?

I'll start,,,

On the weekend, Moose Lake was blooming,,, shoreline areas were getting pretty thick depending on the wind direction. Other areas mid lake were not too bad yet.

Off topic but pine coulee has to be the worst managed reservoir around. Between the walleye waste of time and the terrible water levels, it is super frustrating.

Ste Anne, big side (whole eastern half) was loaded with algae this past Monday night. What a **** off... even the launch at Val Quentin was disgusting. In hindsight I should have just turned around and went home.

The fish were still biting, but a couple hours of fishing cost me a bunch of loonies at the car wash right after I pulled the boat out to get that gunk off the trailer and hull.

Fished it yesterday North East of the bridge. Some very minor accumulation along the shore in a few spots.

Looked pretty clean compared to Clear which you could almost walk on.

Water Level in PCR was alarmingly low

Just got back yesterday. Crawling Valley still has small amounts of green floaties and can still at least see the bottom in 6 ft. of water. So guess it's good. Fishing was awesome, tubin' was a blast
